Okay so everything in this is brand spanking new. It's been up and running fine except for stupid issues with windows updates maybe 5 or 6 boot cycles with an operating time of maybe 10 hours.
Last night I shut down windows it configured an update then shut everything down. Went to bed got up and failure.
I hit the power button front case fan's built in led lights up briefly fan spins briefly and stops. optical drive status light flickers skips the drive with an audible skid then goes silent. CPU fan twitches and stops. Mobo's speaker remains silent. Rinse and repeat without my touching anything all over maybe 2 seconds if. I have to hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds to get it to stop.
I've tried resetting the CMOS, removing everything but bare minimum to no avail. Verified outlet and tried others verified all connections, removed reset switch. Out of ideas. Would love some advice.
Ok so ive noticed the case fan and the 2 fans on the graphics cards all spool up fine and spin for couple seconds while the cpu fan just twitches... could be likely that the fan motor over the cpu is blown? Is therr a way to check or fix without reseating? I hate dealing with the thermal paste :/
